FRAMER.

Application filed May 18,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUS HOLUB, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ravenna, in. the county of Buffalo and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Framer, of which th following is a specification;

This invention aims to provide a simple means whereby the framing mechanism of a motion picture machine may be adjusted from either side of the machine, thereby rendering it unnecessary for the operator to reach between the lamp housing and the casing, to manipulate the ordinary framing lever.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.

WVith the above and other objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in side elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the invention, assembled with a moving picture machine; Figure 2 is a top plan; and Figure 3 is a perspective of the device per se.

The numeral 1 denotes a part of the frame work of a moving picture machine, the pedestal arm being marked by the numeral The lamp housing is denoted by the numeral 3 and th casing which encloses the lenses, condensers and the like is marked by the numeral 1. A stud 5 projects laterally from a pedestal arm 2. The speed control mechanism 6 is mounted on the stud 5. A part of the framing device is shown at 7, the flilil'lillQ' device being under the control of a lever 8, mounted at 9 for vertical swinging movement, it being customary to swing the lever by hand in order to adjust the framing mechanism. The parts above alluded to constitute portions of a standard machine, and no novelty is claimed for them, saving insofar as they may enter into combination with parts hereinafter described.

In carrying out the invention, there is provided a hearing, which is denoted gen- 1923. Serial No. 639,863.

erally by the numeral 10, the bearing comprising a guide 11 and an arm 12 attached by securing elements 14.- to the guide. The arm 1.2 is so A lied with an opening 1.5, and, ciitwa1:;.- of "the opening, the arm is severed to form compressible jaws 16 united by a tightening device 1'7, such as a bolt or screw. The opening 15 in the arm 12 is adapted to receive. the stud 5 and by tightening up the clamping device 17, the jaws 16 may be caused to the stud 5, thereby holding the hearing 10 in the position shown in Figure 1 of the drawings.

A shaft 18 is mounted to rotate in the bearing 10 and more specifically, in the guide 11, the shaft being provided at its ends with hand wheels 19, the shaft 18 being of suflicient length so that the hand wheels are spaced well from the arm 2.

A bar 20 is mounted for reciprocation in the guide 11 and is supplied with a rack 21, adapted to mesh with a pinion 22 on the shaft 18. The numeral 23 denotes an arm, having an inwardly extended finger 24 which is pivotally mounted in the upper end of the rack bar 20 and is held therein, for rocking movement, by a nut 25. The end of the arm 23 is received in the framing lever 8, and the arm 23 may be provided with a nut or the like, indicated at 26, and located at the end of the lever 8.

Rotation may be imparted to the shaft 18 by either of the hand wheels 19 and when the shaft is rotated, the pinion 22 will impart longitudinal reciprocation to the rack bar 20, the bar sliding in guide 11, and swinging motion being parted to the arm 23, the arm moving the framing lever 8. The construction is such that the necessary adjustments may be made from either side of the machine, it being unnecessary for the operator to reach between the lamp housing 3 and the casing 4 and seize the lever 8 with his hand. Further, owing to the rack and pinion connection between the bar 20 and the shaft 18, a very fine and accurate adjustment of the framing mechanism may be brought about.

It will be observed that the device forming the subject matter of this application works no changes in the standard form of a moving picture machine, a part alreadly on the machine, to wit, the stud 5 serving as a place of attachment for the arm 12.

What is claimed is 1. A motion picture machine comprising a.
